T.,
The "vintage-ness" is flowing from this razor. I love it. Great choice.

+1...They make beautiful designs indeed. I love the Wenge wood, but I wonder about the quality of the badger to justify the price.

Jim,
What do you mean, "Nearly Perfect"? Dude...that's about as Perfect as Perfect gets. Nicely done.

My first shave with this beauty. My new baby hit the mark right on the head. I can't thank Don enough for letting her go. She shaves like a dream, no drag and honey smooth.

---

Wowww Mike,
Congrats. These are very hard to come by...especially in such pristine condition. I really enjoyed the design of the "Bone" handles.

My 1st attempt at scales making. Alas it photographs better than it performs, the blade touches the side so they will be replaced, the cause was an error with a sanding belt. I've ordered some nice looking acrylic to use instead but next time I'll just be a little more careful while thicknessing.

---

Congrats on the first attempt, albeit the lack of satisfaction. Hmmmm...seeing all you guys having all the fun at making scales/restores, maybe I should start getting into the game too...On second thought, I think I'll pass. After all, I do have access to Max and he's infinitely better at doing it than I would ever be. I'll just stick to doing what I do best...Now, i just have to figure out what that is, LOOOOOL.

Rum,
Now, that's what makes this worthwhile...And that is the best After Shave one can get. A little goes a long way. Well done with a fantastic shave buddy. Glad to have you back

Dominic,
I missed your posts. Great to have you back brotha. Congrats on this beautiful Japanese razor. She is beautiful. I have to meet a Japanese Western style (or any other style) that I didn't like.

I decided to go into an earthy sandalwood coma! Great shave off the ol' 70 1/2.

---

Oh brother...Now, I am sure to have "Henckels wishes and Sandalwood dreams", LOOOOL. That sounds like a fun and wonderful day with the family Paul. When will Nervin come out of surgery? What kind (hope not serious). I am sure he will be very happy about this surprise. Kudos for doing this for him.

Hey Bladerunner, as you are aware I've been in Qatar for a while (4 years). the locals (Qataris) are always immaculately turned out, and 95% of the time are dressed in traditional clothes, pristine white thobes. They are very well groomed and tend to sport quite sharply sculpted beards. this interest in grooming extends into fragrances, which are extremely important in their culture. This means that most of the local fragrances whilst often being very pleasant, are extremely strong and long lasting, therefore should be applied sparingly, hence the weapons grade comment.

Good morning Gents!

Shave prep: Face wash
Brush: Fonex boar
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood
Razor: Faugier Annonay, 6/8 hollow round point
Strop: nun2sharp's hanging leather strop
After Shave Splash: English leather, house blend
Notes: Smooth and comfortable shave, 2-pass BBS. I was a bit tired so I managed to nick my finger, lol. Nothing bad.

Thank you Robert, I like her too and she's a shaver, but not even among my top 10. I like how the scales came out on her though, but that's thanks to Neil Miller.
